The envelope...please?

Bad blogger, bad! Going to try do some catch up here...

Ok, going to catch up on some things here. A few weeks back, went to Vegas for work to demo for Forrester analysts. Basically a demo-off - bunch of high tech companies all give a 10 minute presentation, and then they're supposed to give an award to the 'coolest' one.

Went, did the thing, seemed to go ok. Big crazy A/V setup with huge screens everywhere. 1000-person room but probably only 100-150 attendees, which was a little weird. Demo went ok, but clearly was not as slick as, say, Adobe's - their guy obviously had an army of Flash gurus helping him out - but I like to think ours was longer on content.

But after all that, who won? I was waiting to blog to say we won, but we never heard anything either way. Lame.

And they do mean 10 minutes - there's a big scary red digital timer on the stage and on the podium. When it hits zero, the lights go out and the music comes up, whether you're done or not. :o
